1 Codes of known threats to tidewater goby habitat that may require special management considerations or protection of the PCEs are as fol-
lows:
1. Coastal development projects that result in the loss or alteration of coastal wetland habitat affecting PCEs 1, 2, 3, and 4.
2. Water diversions, alterations of water flows, artificial breaching of sandbars, and groundwater overdrafting that negatively impact the spe-
cies’ breeding and foraging activities and PCEs 1, 2, 3, and 4.
3. Channelization of habitats where the species occurs, affecting PCEs 1, 2, 3, and 4.
4. Non-point and point source pollution or discharge of agricultural and sewage effluents that are likely to impact the species health or breed-
ing and foraging activities and PCE 1.
5. Cattle grazing that results in increased sedimentation of coastal lagoons and riparian habitats, removes vegetative cover, increases ambient
water temperatures, and eliminates plunge pools and undercut banks utilized by tidewater gobies affecting PCE 1.
